that someone makes a source version of black mesa..
 
? Do you mean that someone makes a map of Black Mesa for HL2? If so, wrong forum, and not really in need of its own thread.
 
They have already made HL1 in the HL2 source engine... i wonder if they will release it with the full game or over steam?
 
that would be kewl... but they would have to make new things in HL1, so we could use the manipulator and such.

Dude i seriously hope your pulling my leg--cause if that was true, it would just be INSANE11!
 
I posted this is a mod idea a few weeks ago, but it was explained to me it would take forever to re-do everything

I beleive I called it, Half-Life 1: The Black Mesa Incident

No - all true - Gabe said it in one of the interviews... now i just need to remember which one.
 
****ing hell, i'm all sweaty now, hurry up and find that interview...purdy plz :D
 
grrr.... i can't find it

I will keep an eye out for it though - and come back and post it here.

I remember it vividly though - because i remember thinking - that's gonna rock!!
 
I think I have just read that Valve will help the mod team who wants to make a HL1 mod for HL2. But I dont remember exactly.

Hmm I agree, that would rock. But the thing is, it could have been one of those fake Gabe Newell interviews. There are alot of them, and for the most part we cant tell if they are real or not unless they are just suspiciously far-fetched like that one "nerds-ahoy" interview.

Yea, but, a HL1 redo with the source engine would definatly kick ass.

:cheers: Only 22 Days, 14 hours, and 56 minutes left... Hold on!!!
 
i would believe that interview if i saw hl1 pictures in source....

They have never said that.
 
I think they said that it would be very simple to basically transport all the original maps into Source, pretty much seamlessly. With a few necessary changes here and there, of course.

They have? Maybe that's what comes in the 3rd SKU, a Source version of HL1...yanno, as an extra goodie...
 
No they havent actually done it,but Gabe said that it COULD be done if somebody wanted to as maps from HL can be brought into the HL2's level editor.
 
They never remade HL1 in Source. they said it was possible.
 
It'd be pretty simple. It'd take a while but you could convert all the maps over to the source engine, re-do the textures and maybe the models. They have the sounds already, the original high quality sampled HL1 speech sounds and tehy could use a mix of the good HL1 sounds and new HL2 sounds. Add some lighting etc. etc.
 
I remember reading both that it would be easy to convert map from hl1 to hl2 and the fact that they had already created HL1 in source engine - they didn't say whether or not they were going to release it though
 
im not really waiting for it, but i would like a map of the Black Mesa complex
 
funny story about hl1...

i started playing it kinda late, probably about 3 or 4 years after it first came out, cuz i wasn't into pc games at the time and had never heard about it...and there was one underwater part where i kept drowning because i thought the water-surface texture, as seen from underwater, was a roof texture, so i didn't know i could go above the water to get air cuz i thought it was a roof!

i'm thinking source would fix graphical problems like that:D and it'd be nice to have a bit more open-endedness, where you can, say, bust down a previously locked door, instead of being forced on the original "track" of hl1.

and please, give us the manipulator! :D

there you go, a MAP, not the WHOLE game
 
If I remember correctly, it was said that some HL1 content had been ported to source, and that they've made converting HL engine stuff to source as painless as possible.

This doesn't mean they haven't re-vamped all of HL1 in source, but it certainly doesn't mean they have. I'm hoping they have (or will) though :)
